## Resource

A man convicted for driving three times over the legal alcohol limit—swerving, hitting a verge, and failing to pull over promptly on a hands-free call—surprisingly got a personal alcohol license after appearing before a licensing board. Despite his reckless behavior, board members noted his remorse, lack of excuses, and willingness to face consequences, including missing his kids’ school drop-offs. Unanimously approving his license, they saw him as a “broken man” who’d learned a hard lesson and was unlikely to repeat his mistake, even though no one asked what he planned to do with it or his current job.
